To start off I have run many antivirus and anti spyware programs, ad aware, norton etc. and the problems I am experiencing occur both in internet explorer and mozilla firefox. Some pages load fine, like gmail and google (although the search in google and logging in in gmail are taking longer I think, perhaps it is just me though). On facebook, the connection always times out. I went to download safari, and the download column on the left side also had a message that said "connection timed out" although the rest of the page loaded fine. I experience this problem with other pages as well, these are just the ones that come to mind. As you can see, this page loaded fine. Also, I checked in the networking portion of task manager and I am never am using more than 10% of my bandwidth. I am using Windows XP
